Quotes16

  • [in an outburst of rage, K'Ehleyr has smashed a glass table to pieces, when Troi enters her quarters]
  • Counselor Deanna Troi: You're upset.
  • K'Ehleyr: Your finely honed Betazoid sense tell you that?
  • Counselor Deanna Troi: Well - that, and the table.
  • [after Worf has temporarily played "Captain" of the Enterprise]
  • Commander William T. Riker: How did you like command?
  • Lieutenant Worf: Comfortable chair.
  • K'Ehleyr: And you wore it well.
  • K'Ehleyr: [having dispatched Worf's exercise program] It's not much of a program.
  • Lieutenant Worf: [gives her a look] Computer... level two.
  • Lieutenant Worf: You are late.
  • K'Ehleyr: Sorry. Had to make myself beautiful.
  • Lieutenant Worf: I fail to understand why.
  • K'Ehleyr: Worf, we're alone now. You don't have to act like a Klingon glacier. I don't bite. Well, that's wrong. I *do* bite.
  • K'Ehleyr: Poor android. Whose behavior do you find more perplexing - Human... or Klingon?
  • Lt. Commander Data: At the moment... I would find it difficult to choose.
  • K'Ehleyr: So would I.
  • K'Ehleyr: Damn you, Worf! You'd let me go without saying another word, wouldn't you?
  • Lieutenant Worf: What needs to be said?
  • K'Ehleyr: Nothing. Everything.
  • Lieutenant Worf: I've noted that some people use humor as a shield. They talk much, yet say little.
  • K'Ehleyr: Whereas others take a simpler approach. Say nothing.
  • Lieutenant Worf: When one does not have the words...
  • K'Ehleyr: Or is loath to speak them...
  • [after being intimate with K'Ehleyr, Worf initiates a formal Klingon oath of marriage]
  • K'Ehleyr: Wait. You can't mean...
  • Lieutenant Worf: We are mated.
  • K'Ehleyr: Yes, I know! I was there!
  • Counselor Deanna Troi: I find the exercise programs on the holodeck rigorous enough to take my mind off most frustrations.
  • K'Ehleyr: And it'll keep me from wrecking the ship.
  • Counselor Deanna Troi: That too.
  • K'Ehleyr: I hid the truth from you. Last night did have meaning. I was tempted to take the oath with you. It scared me. I've never had such strong feelings toward anyone.
  • Lieutenant Worf: Nor have I.
  • K'Ehleyr: Then it *was* more than just a point of honor. Maybe someday, when our paths cross again... I won't be so easy to get rid of.
  • K'Ehleyr: Whoever said getting there was half the fun never rode in a class 8 probe.
  • K'Ehleyr: I will *not* take the oath!
  • Lieutenant Worf: Then this night had no meaning! And *that* I will not believe.
  • K'Ehleyr: Believe what you will.
  • [K'Ehleyr works in the tactical room when Worf and Data enter]
  • K'Ehleyr: An android chaperone?
  • Lt. Commander Data: Android, of course, is correct, but... I fail to see how 'chaperone' is applicable to this situation.
  • K'Ehleyr: Never mind.
  • K'Ehleyr: Sometimes, I feel there's a monster inside of me, fighting to get out.
  • Counselor Deanna Troi: And it frightens you?
  • K'Ehleyr: Of course, it does. My Klingon side can be... terrifying - even to me.
  • Counselor Deanna Troi: It gives you strength. It's a part of you.
  • K'Ehleyr: That doesn't mean I have to like it.
  • K'Ehleyr: Tell me one thing. You would have gone through with the oath, wouldn't you? Regardless of the consequences to our careers, to our lives.
  • Lieutenant Worf: Honor demanded no less.
  • K'Ehleyr: What do you want? Is honor all you care about? Don't you *feel* anything else?
  • Lieutenant Worf: There are always options!
  • K'Ehleyr: Oh, are there? Tell me, whatever happened to that wonderful Klingon fatalism of yours?
  • Lieutenant Worf: My experiences aboard this ship have taught me most problems have more than one solution!
  • K'Ehleyr: Starfleet hasn't improved you one bit. You're as stubborn as ever.
